The service was outstanding and hotel restaurant very good.

What the hotel could do better:

Some of the decorations could be updated as the common area and bedroom area were surprisingly dated.

Hotel Description

There’s more to New Zealand than just those rustic rural lodges. Though it may confound the narrative a bit, New Zealanders can do cosmopolitan style as well. The George, a 53-room boutique in central Christchurch, would look at home in any European capital, so chic is the pared-down modernist décor — in fact the endless whites and blond wood recall nothing so much as Scandinavia at its coolest.

Of course urban, in Christchurch, is relative — they won’t be shooting Blade Runner 2 here, that’s for sure. The George stands at the edge of Hagley Park, which many of the rooms overlook; not only do you get 42” Smart TVs, complimentary WiFi, and 24-hour room service, but idyllic views as well.

The George comes with not one but two restaurants among Christchurch’s finest — relaxed dining at 50 Bistro and the more formal Pescatore (no points for guessing what’s on the menu at the latter). Guests enjoy complimentary access to Total Fitness, a five-minute walk away, or use of the hotel's mountain bikes for a spin around the park. If you’re still feeling confined (unlikely in this scenic, modestly sized city) you’re never far from the vast expanses of great outdoors that are a New Zealand trademark.

How to get there: The George is approximately a 15-20 minute drive from Christchurch International Airport. Please contact customerservice@tablethotels.com to arrange an airport transfer.
